Under the leadership of Guillermo Del Toro Andres Muschietti turned his talented short film 2008, a terrible (that's a compliment) film "Mama". He was the debut of the director and his sister Barbara Musketti, which acted as a producer and co-author of the script.
Of great idea for Energy and shorts "Mama" to have a full and powerful film, though not without artificiality and patches.
"Mother," teetering on the tripod genres: a mystical thriller, horror and scary story. Terrible secret, which the heroes are trying to figure out an abandoned house, corresponding soundtracks, "pugalka" in the form of scary ghosts, creepy murder and creating an atmosphere music, fairy tale and naive thrown crumbs. The filmmakers claim that drew inspiration from Eastern European, including Russian fairy tales, many of which are still horror.
Worried father breaks into the house, takes two young daughters and taking them to an unknown destination. Car off the road, they go on foot and stumble upon an abandoned cabin in the woods, which lodges the girls by as much as five years. All this time they will be looking for his uncle, the twin brother of the father (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), and when the quest to succeed, will together with his beloved rocker (Jessica Chastain) their return to a normal life. There is something to work - girls are completely wild and constantly repeat a certain mother.
When the girls found they were similar to domovenka Kuzyu
Interesting directorial move - life story of Victoria (Megan Charpentier) and Lily (Isabelle Nelissen) in an abandoned house in the woods is shown by children's drawings, which continue to give the film hints at the presence of a number of girls being unknown. Frozen at one point and looks incredible accidents will not make viewers long suffer the question who the scary ghost - mom seems. Then hold the handle of chairs!
It's not even in the terrible special effects. The evil spirit crept into everyday life, in the house where sleep, eat and children play. Moreover, the girl with her familiar and even love her. The film jumps out of the framework of the horror genre due to the fact that my mother has a history, which transforms it from an absolute evil in a full-fledged character that could compete for the heart of Victoria and Lily with their new parents. Fold if they have a complete family and how it will become clear only in the final.
A rare moment when the whole family together
Detsky Mir easily fits a fairy tale with arbitrarily transformed reality. When the eldest of the girls, Victoria, adapts, back in the real world, its own world begins to crumble and turns into a nightmare. Wearing glasses that were broken in the crash and were taken careful hand Moms girl finally sees who this mother. Growing up, the transition from childhood, wonderful attitude to consciousness, the growing influence of culture and society, often painful, are presented here in the form of a terrible metaphor.
Most of the filmVictorianot so emotional
In general, children's characters in "Mame" is much more powerful and interesting than adults. For example, a small and obscure role in the development history of Aunt Jean (Jane Moffat). Or uncle (the same father), who absented himself too long to somehow influence what is happening. Among the representatives of the real world all the hard to get the character of Jessica Chastain Annabelle, who not once, but comes into the fight desperately for the proud title of "Mother," and with this cargo actress copes.
Some irregularities film Andres Muschietti can be attributed to the fact that this is his debut work, and the script was artificially grown from a short film. Indeed, in general, he can not refuse in excellent cinematic flair and ability to be immersed in a fantasy world. "Mama" - a good start.
Wild animal Lily
And finally, if you're always scared when the cat for a long time staring at one point, the film with pleasure tickle your nerves.
